As an acknowledgement of their achievements, the Yusho and Special Prizes Winners of each Sekitori-Toto Hon-Basho are granted the special privilege to display the following "Trophy Images" on their respective personal web pages.  The STK will issue new images each month which will bear the respective Basho designation.  These Medals were especially designed for this purpose by the STK. 

Patrons who win any of these Medals may henceforth carry the designation "Member of the Order of the Emperor", or as applicable.  Multiple winners may be referred to as "Two-Time Member of the Order of ...", etc.

Champions who chose to display won Medals on their web sites are asked to link them back to the Sekitori-Toto web site!
